The ball gets there first, but -- The ball is clearly ahead of Ival Goodman, (right) Cincinnati Reds' outfielder on his attempted steal of second base in the fourth inning of the first game of the World Series, between the Reds and the New York Yankees, at New York, Oct. 4. However, the ball got away from second baseman Joe Gordon (left) and Goodman was safe. The Yankees won 2-1
